IPv6 and the Role of RIRs
RIGF.AsiaHong Kong, June 2010
Internet fundamentals
• Open network, open standards– Developed within IETF system (RFC series)– TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, HTTP, IPSEC, etc etc– “Dumb network” – global p2p datagram service
• “IP over Everything”– Layered networking model (a la OSI)– Relying on ITU and IEEE standards– Serial line, Modem, Ethernet, ISDN, xDSL,
cable/fibre, MPLS, 802.11x, Mobile 2G/3G…• Platform for competition and innovation

IPv4 Consumption – Mitigation
• Many approaches discussed in regional meetings– Policy and procedural measures adopted– Some policies regional, some global
• Hard landing: The “do nothing” approach– Too much risk for serious consideration
• Soft landing: measures to extend lifetime– Rationing (eg /8 last block)– Stricter justification requirements– Reclaiming unused IPv4 addresses– Transfer policies
Transition to IPv6• IPv4 address exhaustion is inevitable
• August 2011: IANA allocates the last /8• August 2012: APNIC is the first RIR to exhaust its
IPv4 address pool• IPv6 should be inevitable
• The only solution to IPv4 exhaustion• Protocol is 10 years old• Under a news spotlight for at least 18 months
• The transition…• Requires all stakeholders to act, but differently• Will take 10+ years to complete

IPv6 Address Management
• RIRs continue providing equitable services to the Internet community• A stable and proven structure for 20 years
• Address management is not the issue in IPv6 deployment• Policies are stable and unrelated to deployment
• All efforts should go to IPv6 deployment• In the core (ISPs, vendors)• At the edges (users, software developers)• Governments: Policies and procurement

IPv6 is Here!
• IPv6 is no longer experimental• IPv6 is now in commercial use• Signification acceleration in deployment
over past year• The main questions have answers…

“Google has quietly turned on IPv6 support for its YouTube video streaming Web site, sending a spike of IPv6 traffic across the Internet…”

The Internet !

Sometime in 2012…
• ISPs will need addresses for new network infrastructure– and will receive only IPv6
• End users will start receiving IPv6 Internet services– With or without private IPv4 addresses
• Enterprises and businesses will get IPv6 for their new networks– “Customer NAT” will apply to IPv4
• All Internet users will be affected• What will you need to do?
13
RIRs and Internet Governance• Open, bottom up, neutral, non-profit,
multistakeholder organisations– Predating ICANN by many years– Supporting the ICANN model, and ICANN itself– Satisfied with IANA arrangements at present
• Participating in IG forums and discussions– RIRs individually and collectively (as NRO)– WSIS, WGIG (some ECOSOC accredited)– ITU-T and ITU-D (some sector members)– Many regional activities and forums– IGF and MAG: long record of participation and
financial support – we support continuation.
